Urban microtunnel projects must ensure that works have minimal impact on both the environment and nearby infrastructure. The importance of determining the fluid injection pressures the ground can withstand is increasingly being recognised by both project owners and drilling contractors.
Using unique software and analysing the specific geotechnical conditions, OPTIMUM engineers precisely calculate these values prior to tunnelling, to minimise the risk of break outs, uplifts, and ground settlements and to ensure the smooth running of jobsite operations.
